"The number one icebreaker in B2B sales discussions is a simple but impactful statement, often framed as a question: “What if we were one company? What would we then discuss?” This often prompts the customer to reply, “In that case, we’d likely focus on these priorities,” outlining their key concerns. This response becomes your starting point."

"Leaders should apply AI models that make sense for their organization rather than chasing the latest innovations. The newest tech is often untested and has higher risks when introduced into real-world environments. Savvy leaders use what’s available, improve it incrementally, and foster a culture of continual learning. FOMO is unwarranted because successful adoption begins with the AI tools that are already practical for your business. Over time, you adapt and evolve alongside advancements." Read More.
"Cynicism is often fueled by vivid experiences of betrayal or exploitation—memories that linger, sometimes for a lifetime. By contrast, the missed opportunities that result from not trusting others—friendships, collaborations, or even love—are invisible. This skewed perception distorts our sense of risk versus reward. We fail to account for the potential gains that come with trusting others, but the data are clear: trust generally opens doors to more opportunities in life." Read More.
"It's essential to develop the ability to handle frustration. When things deviate from expectations, allow yourself to feel frustrated for a short period, and then shift your focus to learning from the experience. One powerful technique I use is called the gratitude frame. Rather than dwelling on what you've lost or how things have diverged from your expectations, concentrate on what you still possess."

"Not everything can matter at once, nor can everything matter forever. Instead of reverse-engineering a "perfect life," I suggest a shift in perspective. Rather than striving for this unattainable perfection, why not live through the lens of seasons? When we focus on seasons instead of an invisible future, we allow for fluidity and freedom. Life becomes less rigid and more adaptable." Read More.
